Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) is applicable when a government authority provides a grant to an NGO registered under Section 12AA. The prevailing view is that TDS should not be deducted. This is based on the argument that grants are akin to gifts, NGOs operate for charitable purposes rather than commercial gain, and grant agreements, despite conditions, do not constitute commercial contracts.

No TDS should not be deducted as trust is registered under 12AA
No tax should be deducted at source on grants because:
a) A grant is a gift, albeit restricted or conditional
b) NGOs exists for ‘charitable purpose’ and they are not ‘commercial providers of service/s’
c) A ‘grant agreement’ can have various conditions and stipulations as also specific expected deliverable, but, that does not make it a ‘commercial contract’.
d) NGOs under CSR Rules are “Implementing Agencies” or ‘CSR implementing partners’ of companies and not the company’s ‘commercial contractors’ or ‘vendors’
